The term Electronic Body Music was coined by #RalfHutter of German #Electro band #Kraftwerk in 1978 to describe an emerging genre with #Punk #Industrial & #Disco elements. Essex group #NitzerEbb’s 1987 #EBM track “Join In The Chant” was a #StarckClub fave

"When you go back to the Velvets, Loaded is a great album and it’s the closest they got to what Lou Reed could actually do, melodic, cutting, horrific songwriting. I came to Berlin quite late... and it just killed me."

In late 1989, #StarckClub was mailed a plain ‘white label’ 12” with no title, no info, no artwork & no return address. The DJ’s played it, the crowd loved it & it became a bona fide floor filler & Starck fave- It was UK #EBM group #NitzerEbb’s “Fun To Be Had”
